— Psalm 90:12
Dear People of St. Patrick Parish:
What do we think will make us really happy if we only had it? Do we think it will last forever and keep making us happy after we tire of it? Do we think we can take it with us to the grave? Yes, some have insisted on being buried with their car, their race horse, etc. Well, we do leave our possessions behind, we used them, hopefully they made us happy and we hope to leave them to others to enjoy and make happy.
When we stand before God and He welcomes us into heaven, he does not judge our clothing, jewelry or credit cards. Instead, he askes us how we showed our love for Him and for others. Did we care about others? We can be rich and be happy and enjoy our things, but not if we see our brother starving to death and we refuse to help him. Can we be happy knowing we could have reached eternal life with God in heaven forever but chose sin, hell, and the rest of our life with the devil? There is nothing wrong with wanting things, using them to make life enjoyable for us and our families. But, what are we willing to do to get them—rob, steal, cheat, destroy? Not if we say we love God and our neighbor. In this ‘Year of Mercy’, we are reminded that God gives us all things, all things come from God the Creator. His abundance of love and mercy should be enough for us. The very poor person may suffer here on earth but can be happy here while knowing that he will have everything in heaven and it cannot be taken away from him. Let us pray for each other that we all make the right choice and all meet in heaven. God Bless, Fr. Larry Young Pastor
A Message from Our Pastor
News ~ Information ~ Events
Worldwide Marriage Encounter
In the Second Reading, St. Paul reminds us that our life is now “in Christ”. He encourages us to “put on the new self” and to “seek and think of what is above” because we are no longer of this world. Do we have a Christ Centered Marriage? Strengthen, Renew and Rekindle your marriage by attending an upcoming Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend on August 5-7 or November 18-20. For more information contact Mike & Jeanne, 925-672-2016 or Joe & Sue, 925-680-7767 or online at oaklandwwme.org Weekends are presented in Pleasanton/Dublin area.
Jubilee Year of Mercy July 31, 2016 Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you” (Luke 12:20). Hardly sounds like mercy! Unlike some contemporary rich folks, there is no
indication of lying, stealing, or cheating in Jesus’ parable. The rich man made a living, not a killing. Why does Jesus name him “fool”? First, because of presumption. Five times in nine verses, the rich man declares, “I shall.” God’s not in charge here, I am! Second, selfishness—four times, “my/myself.” No God, no neighbor; he talks to himself, about himself: my possessions, my productivity, my plans! So, instead of chasing “treasure for ourselves,” Jesus and Pope Francis’ Jubilee Year of Mercy bid us grow “rich in what matters to God” (12:21), namely, the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Give food, drink, clothing, and healing; visit the imprisoned; bury the dead. Heal with Jesus’ own gentleness the doubt, ignorance, and sins of others; comfort, forgive, be patient; and pray for the living and dead.
